Sunday Chili

First, I would like a moment of silence dedicated to the loss of the Chicago Bears.  SIGH.

In preparation for the Bears v. Packers game yesterday I decided to put on my chefs hat and make homemade chili.  It turned out better than expected and it helped drown my sorrows a bit when the football game came to an end.  Check out my creation below!
 
1. Add one whole diced green pepper, one whole minced jalapeno, and 2 tablespoons minced garlic to a large pan and saute over medium-high heat

2. Dice one whole white onion

3. Add diced onion and 1lb. of ground beef to pan

4. Stir until meat is no longer pink

5. Add 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, 3 tbsp. Chili Powder, 1 tsp. Cumin to pan and bring to a boil. Now add 2 cans diced tomatoes and two cans kidney beans.  Once boiling, bring to a simmer and cover for 1 1/2 hours.

 6.  Chili without cornbread?  While the chili was simmering I began the cornbread with a classic Jiffy mix.

 7. Add one egg and 1/3 cup milk and stir.

 8. Let mixture sit for 3-4 minutes, stir again and add to buttered cupcake pan.

9. Put in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

10. Mmmm, warm cornbread!
 
11. An hour and a half later, sprinkle some cheese, add a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!
